Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin
I recently managed to visit the Berlin Technical Museum, which has managed to amass a remarkable collection of exhibits over several decades of its existence. The museum is located in the Kreuzberg district, near the Möckernbrücke and Gleichsdreieck metro stations, and it is interesting to note that some of its displays are located in the buildings of the former train station. Opening days are Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Mondays. The museum's exhibits are extensive and cover a wide range of fields of technical history. For example, the transportation section is very impressive, including many types of locomotives and rail cars, including a mining railway; other departments cover textile manufacturing, automobiles, telecommunications, luggage production, shipbuilding and transportation. In the area in front of the museum, a giant propeller blade of a wind turbine can be admired, as German industry is a pioneer in alternative energy sources.
